Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected everyday life and business. To describe the impacts, 566 COVID-19-related articles were published between January 2020 and March 2022 in 18 hospitality and tourism journals. This study identifies the research streams, using content and bibliometric analyses. Content analysis and co-citation analysis revealed six research streams and four research clusters, respectively. A critical analysis was conducted to reflect the theoretical and practical implications and provide suggestions for future research directions. The identified research weaknesses include concerns relating to generalizability, sampling and measurement-related issues, online survey methods, failure to identify different stakeholders’ views on the adoption of new technologies, lack of practical coping scheme studies, lack of effort to adopt multidisciplinary theories, and little exploration of customers’ reactions to virtual events. Results of this study can help facilitate and consolidate the knowledge on the impacts of the pandemic and proactively prepare for future disease crises.

新冠肺炎酒店和旅游研究：批判性分析、反思和经验教训

新冠肺炎大流行严重影响了日常生活和商业。为了描述这些影响，2020年1月至2022年3月，在18本酒店和旅游杂志上发表了566篇与新冠肺炎相关的文章。本研究通过内容分析和文献计量分析确定了研究流。内容分析和共引分析分别揭示了六个研究流和四个研究集群。进行了批判性分析，以反映理论和实践意义，并为未来的研究方向提供建议。已发现的研究弱点包括与可推广性、抽样和测量相关的问题、在线调查方法、未能确定不同利益相关者对采用新技术的看法、缺乏实际的应对方案研究、缺乏采用多学科理论的努力，以及很少探索客户对虚拟事件的反应。这项研究的结果有助于促进和巩固关于大流行影响的知识，并积极为未来的疾病危机做好准备。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research (JHTR) is an international scholarly research journal that publishes high-quality, refereed articles that advance the knowledge base of the hospitality and tourism field. JHTR focuses on original research, both conceptual and empirical, that clearly contributes to the theoretical development of our field. The word contribution is key. Simple applications of theories from other disciplines to a hospitality or tourism context are not encouraged unless the authors clearly state why this context significantly advances theory or knowledge. JHTR encourages research based on a variety of methods, qualitative and quantitative.
